- Return a C :c:type:`long` representation of the contents of *pylong*. If
- *pylong* is greater than :const:`LONG_MAX`, raise an :exc:`OverflowError`,
- and return -1. Convert non-long objects automatically to long first,
- and return -1 if that raises exceptions.
+ Return a C :c:type:`long` representation of *obj*. If *obj* is not an
+ instance of :c:type:`PyLongObject`, first call its :meth:`__int__` method
+ (if present) to convert it to a :c:type:`PyLongObject`.
-.. c:function:: long PyLong_AsLongAndOverflow(PyObject *pylong, int *overflow)
+ Raise :exc:`OverflowError` if the value of *obj* is out of range for a
+ :c:type:`long`.
- Return a C :c:type:`long` representation of the contents of
- *pylong*. If *pylong* is greater than :const:`LONG_MAX` or less
- than :const:`LONG_MIN`, set *\*overflow* to ``1`` or ``-1``,
- respectively, and return ``-1``; otherwise, set *\*overflow* to
- ``0``. If any other exception occurs (for example a TypeError or
- MemoryError), then ``-1`` will be returned and *\*overflow* will
- be ``0``.
